Announcing the release of version 1.0 of getmail.com

http://sourceforge.net/projects/getmail-com/

Getmail.com downloads email from a mail.com account. It uses HTTP to log in to your account, get the inbox listing, and download messages along with attachments. Login name, password, and maximum message size can be specified through the interface or in the configuration file. It does not delete messages or look in folders other than Inbox.

Caveats: The configuration file is called .gmcom.rc and is in your home directory. The program will prompt you to create it if it does not exist.

The password is stored as plain text in the file, but the file's permissions are 0600 (-rw-------), so only you can read it.

You may edit the file and delete any parameter from it. The program will either prompt you for it, or choose a default value (if it can). The file will be written only if it does not exist.
